How many NIC's PFSENSE can handle ?
-
HI,
I'm running my PFSENSE on a HYPER-V cluster.
Currently I have 7 NICS: 2 LAN + 4 WAN + OPENVPN
I'm pretty happy with PFSENSE's performance.
I'm planning to connect an other 3 NICS: 3 LAN + 6 WAN + OPENVPN
I'm wondering if it's OK to have 10 active NIC's'.
I didn't find any reference to a maximum of NICs allowed.Thanks,
Ariel

There isn't a maximum, though things will slow down as you get to fairly high numbers (a couple hundred, give or take, depending on the speed of your hardware)

How does one add "a couple hundred" NICs to a machine?

VLANs, VPNs, anything virtual.
